Project Runway crowns an All Star, splits into teams

“Project Runway” has a new All Star. And like we’ve known from the beginning, it’s Anthony Ryan Auld.

I’m good with that. Anthony Ryan was overall the strongest throughout the season and should have gone much further the first time around. I knew he’d clinched it with that stunning first dress. But what did we really learn, kids?

Probably that All Stars should be limited to one season only. After a couple of weeks, it just felt too familiar. And the judges were just too nice.

Also, that Casanova likes to sleep:

Even if editors probably culled that from a 15-minute nap.

That host Carolyn Murphy sometimes gets it very, very wrong:

So wrong. And so glad Heidi Klum is back.

That Uli Herzner should have at least gotten second place for her wintry furs and feathers. ROBBED!

That the judges were insane to have liked Emilio Sosa’s looks, which he called “Urban Plantation.” It looked more like ’80s graffiti meets Forever 21.

He, and they, kept going on and on about how it was “political” and controversial,” — “from Aunt Jemima to Rosie the Riveter.” I understand and appreciate that concept. And I would have loved to have actually seen it in the clothes. But it wasn’t there. Red headscarves do not equal controversy.

I don’t care how you explain it. And if you do have to explain it, it’s not working. He should have been third.

Oh, also — that Joshua McKinley is an awful, awful person and a bad sport. I don’t care if he was tired. Why did he bother coming back if he wasn’t up for helping?

But that’s the past, and the future is tonight. A new season kicks off with faces we haven’t seen before. But there are changes. And twists. And drama.

The designers will be split into two teams of eight for the season. One person from the losing team is sent home each week. New judge Zac Posen joins the panel. Guest stars include Miranda Lambert and Bette Midler — both of whom I love — but neither of whom is exactly a fashion icon.

No Houstonians in the mix, but Daniel Esquivel is from Austin, and James Martinez is from Dallas. Will you be watching?
